Colman – Colman off-grid camper

I can't believe that I haven't left a review before now because this was one of my most memorable and favourite trips ever - and I travel A LOT. The freedom was unmatched, we really made use of the off-grid facilities and enjoyed living wild. Collection and drop-off were both smooth and seamless and Tom and his wife were two of the nicest people you could wish to deal with. I cannot recommend enough :) July 2025

Tom was amazingly helpful and the van is superb. It’s literally like an apartment on wheels. Cozy and well stocked - the bed is outrageously comfortable for a van. Once you get used to the size of it it is very easy to drive and surprisingly economical. We had a blast driving around Lake District and although parking can sometimes be a little longer to find than normal it’s worth it for the level of comfort. November 2024

Easy handover. Great communication. Van stocked with all the essentials for an excellent van-life experience. Was larger than expected but this made it very comfortable.. and we didn't have toi much trouble even down the small lanes of norfolk!! Stayed at a nice wild campsite in thornage and even took a hot shower.. luxury! Would highly recommend Colman the van.We had a great time. August 2024

We had a fab weekend in Tom’s van. The van was easy to drive and very comfortable. Tom was also flexible on pickup and drop off times which was appreciated. June 2024

Excellent experience all round - the van is very comfortable with everything cleverly arranged and well equipped. Thanks Tom! September 2023

We had an excellent time using Colman and it is the most comfortable bed we have ever had in a motor home!! Tom was excellent with his communication and we would definitely use him again. Shaun & Michelle Rowland July 2022

Tom's camper made our stay in the UK such an incredible experince. The van is practical and functional but also has a nice and personal design with many details. The bed is super comfortable, and we had everything we needed to cook etc. Tom was helpful and nice. We would definitely recommend! July 2022

Coleman was a great campervan. The interior was very nice, the bed was really comfy, lighting was good, loved the outside shower (very clever) and the hot water, good fridge space and sufficient storage. Unfortunately limited cooking facilities (2 small gas rings), no grill or microwave and the water system (pump I guess) was very noisey when we used it. Tom was very flexible with picking up and dropping off times and although there was a sidelight not working Tom went and got another bulb and fixed it before we left. Thank you Coleman for a great weekend and thank you Tom for letting us use him July 2022

Fantastic van and excellent service and communications from Tom. Highly recommended. September 2021

This was one of our best ever ‘fun in retirement’ freedom holidays! After several cancellations abroad due to Covid, and wanting to holiday away from crowds, we decided to hire a camper and tour our own beautiful country! Coleman had everything we dreamed of for this trip. An ‘exceptionally’ comfortable full king bed, hot water for washing up and shower, enough power from solar panels/inverter to power fridge, plug sockets/usb chargers/lights. Under bed storage back and front, upper storage cupboards, awesome fridge, Portaloo, - well nothing lacking. Coleman being mustard meant we could spot her immediately in car parks too! She drove excellently around hills and dales of Cotswolds, Snowdonia and Peak District with no effort. We passed two other mustard Merc Sprinter Campers on route and enjoyed all the frantic waving!! 🤣 Tom is a lovely guy to deal with and was always immediately available on WhatsApp for any minor questions we had. We truly hope we are able to do this adventure again and defo choose Coleman again - we miss her already!!! 😭 September 2021

An excellent hire, Colman was a great van which was well equipped with above what you might expect. Perfect hire for the five day festival, host Tom was quick to respond and helpful - we would definitely hire this again! August 2021

We had a brilliant time in Colman. The van has everything you might need. We really enjoyed being able to take the bikes and use the deck chairs and table that came with the van. Tom was also really helpful, very quick to respond to any queries. Would definitely recommend! August 2021

Tom and Colman were great! The van is super spacious and has everything you need. Tom was really quick and easy to communicate with, especially when there was a small issue with the van he was quick to sort it out. Would definitely recommend to anyone considering a trip in Colman! August 2021

Great experience! Tom was very nice and responded to all our questions. The van was great, we really enjoyed it! Unfortunately the inverter broke the second day we had the van so we couldn’t use the power, but everything else went well! We would definitely rent Coleman again :) April 2021

My partner and I loved Colman, a great camper and perfect for off-grid adventures. Tom was a great host, always helpful and available for any questions. Highly recommend! October 2020

Colman was mustard :) If you’re in any doubt about booking the converted Mercedes Sprinter that is Coleman ( the yellow submarine ) we can honestly say we had the best time! Everything you might need is available. The owner Tom was great and we had the best time. Just book it you won’t regret it - great little camper van 👌 September 2020

We have had the most magical camping holiday with Colman! Travelled through north Wales and Snowdonia and wow we've had some of the most beautiful views from the back doors of the van! :) Comes equipped with everything you need for a camping trip! Even a Nespresso Machine! And omg the bed, what an absolute dream so comfy and cosy, unreal! Thanks so much Tom for being super responsive, helpful and so so kind throughout the process! September 2020

Had the most wonderful trip in Colman the Camper. The van is well equipped with fantastic modern kitchen units and a super comfortable (king-sized!) bed. Tom was very quick to respond to any questions we had which made for a stress-free first time camper experience. Would definitely recommend, perfect for a staycation getaway and particularly ideal for Londoners like ourselves. Thank you Tom! September 2020

Tom and Ellie are Amazing! I was a pain in the arse renter with last minute date changes and complications with my booking, but from start to finish Tom and Ellie were on hand to help me with my booking. Colman was a dream van that kept us warm, powered and clean for the length of the trip. Every time I thought 'I wonder if there's a....' I found what I needed. Plenty of space, a comfy bed and warm shower just when you really need it. Both collection and drop off were an absolute breeze and I couldn't recommend Tom, Ellie and their van Colman more! June 2020
